Victoria County reopens courtesy station

Constantino Martin speaks about the re-opening at the Bloomington Courtesy Station on Black Bayou Road No. 1 in Bloomington. Martin used to work at the courtesy station and is glad to see it back open and available to the public. He works there part time.

Got trash?

• WHAT: Precinct 1 Courtesy Station

• WHERE: 706 Black Bayou Road No. 1, Bloomington

• WHEN: 10:30 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Saturdays

It takes more than pride to keep a community beautiful.

Precinct 1 Commissioner Danny Garcia hopes by re-opening the courtesy station, which accepts trash and recyclable material, precinct employees can focus on repairing roads rather than picking up litter.
